Expanded Memory
Lorenzo Papanti
Architectures represent the solid memory of humanity. They enclose spiritual and functional spaces and express the culture, sensibility and technique of the society that built them.
Expanded Memory is made with an algorithm that processes images of architecture in a continuous flow that is renewed through the becoming of societies. Fragments of architectures are digitally expanded in an attempt to complete their construction; the result is the dissolution of volumes into a new abstract configuration, a continuous dematerialized form in which space and time merge as in a faded memory: the memory of all humanity.

Bio
Lorenzo Papanti, born in Pisa in 1989, completed his studies in architecture and engineering at the University of Pisa’s DESTeC in 2014. During this time, he honed his skills in composition and digital techniques. Her art intensely explores the relationships between physical and mental space, seeking to decipher reality through the optics of perception. He often experiments with video performances, in which he analyzes and challenges traditional notions of size and matter, exploring intangible signals that make up our perception of reality. His creations reflect the complexities and nuances of today’s world, offering audiences profound visual experiences and engaging narratives
